Install Smart switch on both device (smartphone and computer)

Connect your phone with computer by data cable.

After connection established, check whether any update showing there or not.


If yes , you'll get a option to update your device.

it'll take time. Don't disconnect your cable or phone or pc during the update process.

It's safe. But if you want then you can also take backup of your device from smart switch in your pc.
